Texas AG aims opioid lawsuit at Purdue Pharma

Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery, along with a bipartisan group of attorneys general, sued Purdue Pharma today for its unlawful marketing and promotion of OxyContin and other drugs and its role in causing and prolonging the opioid epidemic in Tennessee, according to a news release. Stenehjem also says the company promoted the drugs through a "pervasive and deceptive marketing campaign". The death toll attributed to opioids in the US has quadrupled over the last two decades. The state's lawsuit was filed in Knox County Circuit Court.

"It resulted in large measure from a company's decision to aggressively and deceptively market OxyContin and misrepresent the most serious side effect of opioids-addiction", the suit states. Attorney General Paxton's lawsuit seeks significant penalties from the company for its illegal conduct, and a permanent injunction to prevent future harm to Texans.

- Falsely representing that Purdue's abuse-deterrent formulation of OxyContin reduces the risks of OxyContin, including the risk of addiction.

North Dakota and five other states are accusing a major pharmaceutical company of fueling the opioid crisis.
